Tudor Black Bay 68 automatic silver dial steel bracelet 43 mm
- NEW
New for 2025, the Tudor Black Bay 68 stands out with its large 43 mm diameter and sunburst satin-finished silver dial. Imposing and elegant, it is Master Chronometer certified for exemplary precision and reliability.
A new product that thinks big
TUDOR dares to go against the tide, and that has always been part of the brand's spirit. In a watchmaking world where small sizes are often favored, TUDOR chooses to think big with the new Black Bay 68. This bold model, with a 43 mm case, completes the Black Bay collection by offering a larger version, suited to wrists looking to make a statement. With its arrival, the Black Bay range now offers a variety of sizes to suit all tastes.
This choice of a large diameter is not insignificant; it reflects TUDOR's desire to honor its history while exploring new perspectives. The Black Bay 68 pays tribute to a turning point in the brand's history: 1968, the year in which the emblematic “Snowflake” hands were designed, before appearing in the catalog in 1969. Another nod to Tudor's heritage is the sunburst satin-finish “Tudor blue” dial, inspired by iconic models, which brings a modern touch while remaining rooted in tradition. Finally, to emphasize this blend of heritage and innovation, the crown features the Tudor rose in relief, while the bracelet has polished sides, replacing the vintage rivets typical of the collection.
Another sign that TUDOR thinks big? The Black Bay 68 is Master Chronometer certified, demonstrating the brand's commitment to technical excellence. Tested by the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS), this certification guarantees that the watch meets the highest standards in terms of precision and resistance to magnetic fields, while affirming its place in the line of robust and professional divers' watches that have forged the Tudor reputation.
A bold and modern look
The Tudor Black Bay 68 in its silver version captivates with its slightly domed satin-sunray dial, elegantly capturing the light and offering a subtle, sophisticated glow. This luminous color adds a contemporary and distinguished touch, while remaining true to Tudor's watchmaking heritage. The black unidirectional rotating bezel, with its silver accents and 60-minute graduation, completes the ensemble perfectly, reinforcing the rugged, professional identity typical of diving watches.
Tudor's famous “Snowflake” hands, introduced in 1969, bring a unique character to this version, while the lollipop-shaped seconds hand pays homage to the brand's early diving models. The crown, redesigned for this model, retains the emblematic curves of Tudor technical watches, adding a touch of authenticity and craftsmanship.
.The three-mesh, rivetless steel bracelet combines robustness and elegance. With its satin finish and polished edges, it ensures optimum comfort on the wrist thanks to Tudor's signature “T-fit” clasp. This innovative system enables quick and precise adjustment to five positions, without the need for tools, guaranteeing an impeccable fit in all circumstances. The clasp is also equipped with a ceramic ball system, ensuring a reliable and pleasant-to-the-touch closure.

At the heart of the Black Bay 68 beats the Manufacture caliber MT5601-U, a mechanical movement with bidirectional self-winding via rotor. Designed for robustness and precision, it offers a 70-hour power reserve, certified as “weekend-proof”, allowing the watch to be taken off on Friday evening and put on again on Monday morning without having to be wound.
This movement is Master Chronometer certified by METAS, a certification that attests to reliability and precision in the most demanding environments. To meet the requirements of this certification, the MT5601-U caliber is able to withstand magnetic fields of up to 15,000 gauss, and its precision must be within a range of 0 to +5 seconds per day, surpassing the usual COSC standards.
Its variable inertia balance is maintained by a traversing bridge with a double anchor, ensuring increased stability and precision. The silicon balance spring guarantees high resistance to magnetic disturbances. To perfect this technical ensemble, the openworked monobloc tungsten rotor is decorated with laser-made radial motifs, while the bridges and mainplate alternate between sand-blasted and polished surfaces for a modern and meticulous aesthetic rendering.
The Tudor Black Bay 68 is thus much more than a diving watch: it is the perfect combination of watchmaking tradition and technical innovation, ready to accompany watchmaking enthusiasts on all their adventures.
